There are important developments regarding the weather!

The General Directorate of Meteorology announced that Turkey is under the influence of a heat wave, with temperatures 6 to 9 degrees above seasonal norms. This situation poses a risk for forest fires, especially.

Meteorology expert Fevzi Burak Tekin emphasized that high temperatures and low humidity increase the risk of forest fires. Citizens are urged to be cautious in this regard.

Starting from Sunday, Turkey will be affected by a new rainy system. Heavy rainfall is expected, particularly in the Black Sea region, so caution is advised against flood and overflow risks.

Warnings regarding forest fires were also issued. It was stated that cigarette butts should not be thrown into nature and glass bottles should not be left behind. Such waste increases the risk of fire.

Meteorology reported that temperatures will drop in the northern and inner regions in the coming days, while remaining around seasonal norms in other areas.

We recommend paying attention to the announcements from the General Directorate of Meteorology to keep up with developments regarding the weather. Remember, reporting any negative situations regarding nature to the 112 Emergency Call Center is of great importance.
